What did a reference t the Judiciary committee mean anyhow , ex cept a reference to a few parties who were th tools of a combine ? itnsnNTED nv SAt'.vnnns.

" TO INVESTIGATE OLSEN' . Much time was consumed In di = cu sln and disposing of the followli.g resolution sul milled bv Howell' Whereas , Section 110 of the charier make It the duty of the comotroller to care-full examine racb month the accounts , stale menls mid vouchee of the city treasure ] and to make from time to time suich repoi to the city council concerning Mich ac counts and statements as may seem nece * oty and proper , and Wherc.io , The council on two dlffeien occasions Instructed the comptroller to re porl to the council , ns requited by the chai ter the condition of the treasurer's ofllc and Whereas , In compliance with said rp = olv lions , the comptroller reported everythln In the treasurer's olllce to be In a satis factory condition , nml Whereas , Gross irregularities bavo liee dl co\ered In the treasurer's olllco nnd system has been allowed to grow up vvhlc permitted employes of the city , ns well n contrnclors and olhers , to borrow mone from the city Ireasurcr contrary to lav and Whereas ; It Js reported ! thnt of th amount found to have been advanced t employes of the city hall , the large- n mounts appear to have been gl\en to err ploves of the comptroller's olllce , thus ind eating lhat the comptroller was elthi negJIgent and derelict In his duties or vvn a party to the transaction , also Wheieas , Section 172 of the charter pr < v'des ' that the mayor shall make nnd IV with the clerk of the district court tl : proper charges nnd specifications again1 nnv councilman or other oillcor guilty < malfeasance or misfeasance or tncompi ter.cy or neglect of duty , therefore be It Resolved , That his honor the mayor 1 requested to Investlgalo the said Irregular ties above referred to and to take sue action ns said invesllgatlon may Justify. Howell said that he submitted the resoli tlon as a fried of the comptroller. It woul be wrong to Interpret the preamble as In plying that the comptroller had been gull ! of malfeasance In office , but criticism of M Olscn In connection with reports on 11 city treasurer's office had been so slron that he believed It was due to the com ) Irollcr as much as to the public that a Investigation be had. TOLD IT WAS BUNCOMBE. Saunders called the resolution a piece i political buncombe and by no means li traduced In good faith. He said It natural ! followed In line with the long-winded resoli lions which the membef had been sprlnglr at every session for n loiifi time and fi polltfcal effect. He Insisted that before pu ting before the body n document so full i Insinuations It was HowellV duty to persoi ally Inquire Into the Affairs In the comi ( roller's office as ever y clly official ar citizen had a right to do. . . Jacobsen said the resolution was entire ! uncalled for and announced himself : sqyarely opposed to It. ' , Howell replied that the facts spoke for hlr H was on his initiative ) that the complrolli was first asked to check < up the books I the treasurer's office , and. the report mm was not satisfactory. , , , Being requested make a more thorough , examination tl comptroller had said [ that the treasun was unwilling that he have access to tl cash box , and events had shown that the was a shortage there , 'Criticism ' had bet heaped on the comptroller * that his bad sta of affairs was not reported1 by him , and It wi only proper thai a thorough examination the conduct of the comptroller's olllce shou be made. Mr. Olsen was given leave to address tl council. He Intimated that Howell was i friend of his and scored him roundly fi bringing him Into such notoriety and cas Ing a blemish on his character without fir having satisfied himself that something wi wrong In the office. He agreed that tl resolution was only for political effec though he expressed his willingness that h office be thoroughly Investigated , He r Iterated that he had done all he could ( to af-certaln the condition of affairs In M Ilolln's olllce and again \ouched for his r ports as being correct , according toouche and entries In his own office. A comptrolli had never before been asked to check up caf In the city treasury and without this r shortage could have been found. Respecting the allegation lhat employes his own office had gone deeper Into the trea urer's drawer than other city employes 1 eclarcd In the first phco that personally he lever borrowed a dollar from U , nnd when ho nuud that tome of his subordinates had he irged them to pay It back as won ns possl- > le.

Several members e\ | ) lalned the apparent Inconsistency In the ! liosllton by saying lhat It was the wordlui lather than the spirit of llowell's resolutloi that they objected to On recommendation of the finance commit tee the bond of J II. Diimont as city trea urer was fixed at $ f > ! > 0.000. It was stated tha the average monthly balance In the ell treasurer's olllee for 1811 was $270.7.17 00. am In view of this the amount named for th bond war deemed sulllclenl and came wlthli the charter provision with respect to ratio t funds liable to be ou hand. Calm suggestt that as Dumont was to serje for Hie last si months of Hie year the average monthly bal mice only for the last six months of Ihe pre ceding year should be taken as a basis. Th1 balance was $308,000 , and therefore the bom should be placed at $610,000 On this accoun Cahn , Uurkley , Howell , Lemly and Merce voted against adopting the report The report of Hie Hoard of Public Works showing lhat Hie clly had been lo er In tin sum of $10.000 by the failure of C.

AT ST. JAMES' ORPHANAG1 Interesting Ceremony of Drd'cntlng n Ncv Altiir. A beautiful ceremony of dedicating the nev altar of St. James' orphanage w i witnessed yeslerday by a few se lect friends of the Sisters of Mercy The orphanage chapel , In every respect bti one , the altar , Is one of the most beautiful li Omaha , and the deficiency has been stippllPi by the memorial altar , donated by the Me Shane family. In honor of the dedication Hi Sisters sang a beautiful high mass. As tlicl exquisitely trained and tender voices mlnglei with the Incense that floated round the alia : It Is not to be wondered at If the McSliam family did feel Hie glow of consolation vvhlcl always follows a noble deed. Itev Father McCarthy delivered a scholarly dls course. His texl , "Honor Thy Fa I her am Mother , " was singularly apropos , lna = mucl as the altar wai given to commemorate Hi vlrluo of a beloved mother. Afler lhanklni the family for the generosity , of which Ihl presenl of an altar Is not the first Instance the reverend speaker gave a description of th Jewish temple a description at once Inter estlng , graphic and researchful. He explains how magnificently the Jewish people adornei the holy of holies , whereon only a synibc of God rested , and' then In a burst of earnes eloquence asked his listeners should they not with far more reason , adorn the Catholl allar , the throne of God's own majesty , o which rests , not a figure of God , but Goi Himself. He aim likened the altar lo th rock which Moses struck , saying that "fror our altar Ihe waters of gracs flow on all wh strike the rock of the Tabernacle Jesu Christ " He told how , In ancient times , th nobility of Home was wont to use their ( lea as Instruments to Illuslrate their greatnes by pulling up monumenls of magnlficeiil prc portions on Hie Applan Way , where all Hi world could- see them , but that In contradlc tion to Ihis the McSIiane family erected thel beautiful altar In an obscure building , wher seldom , If ever , Ihe great ones of the worl come , and where only Ihe lowly Sisters an humble orphans worship. But there was on gieater Ihan any of this earth's great onei the Lord of all , who would always look wit pleasure on Ihls monument of love , crecte to the memory of a beloved mother. After expatiallon on the beauties of Ihe dc natcd allar , and promising Ihe generous fan lly many blessings , Iho reverend genllema brought his masterly discourse to an end. The altar Is a gem of Its ; kind. The sly ] Is golhlc , In while , walnut and gold , flanke right and left by two beautiful statues an two adoring angels In white and gold , an will stand a continual reminder of the genei oslty of Ihe donors.
